In November 2013 Typography’s Centre for Ephemera Studies (CES) published a Thesaurus of Ephemera Terms, which is freely available for download here, in two versions: alphabetical and top term order.
At present there are no plans to provide a searchable version. While not wishing to undermine the integrity of the thesaurus it is understood that users will adapt it for their own purposes as circumstances change.
We would welcome any comments and suggestions for improvement received before the end of 2014, as we intend to issue a revised version in 2015.
Please send comments and suggestions to ephthes@reading.ac.uk.
